Spotted
The Yellow-spotted Barbet is an African barbet characterized by its speckled plumage, particularly the yellow spots on its dark body, and a patterned face. It is a resident of dry savannas and woodlands.
Where to spot
Dry savanna, acacia scrub, and open woodlands across the Sahel region of Africa, from Mauritania to Sudan.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground or low in bushes in dry, open habitats. Its speckled appearance can provide camouflage, but its calls, often a rhythmic 'toot-toot-toot,' can reveal its presence.
When to spot
Year-round; often observed during the cooler parts of the day when foraging on the ground.

Yellow-spotted Barbets often forage on the ground for insects and fallen fruits, a behavior less common among some other arboreal barbet species.
